So, you think you know all of the K&O motors?  How about these?!  These K&O motors were all junk or parts motors that creative people repainted to look like motors that K&O never made.   Some are scratch built by talented collectors. If you custom made any toy outboards please send me a picture with a description of what year and make motor and how it was made and I'll add it to this page.  Don't forget to see page 2 for more motors!

1.  1957 Firestone 38 HP outboard:  This is a custom made K&O size 1957 Firestone 38 horsepower toy outboard motor!  K&O never made this motor but it's in the exact same scale.  In fact, the entire lower leg and lower unit were cast in resin from a 1957 K&O Scott-Atwater 40 HP motor. The cowl, lower leg and lower unit were all cast from a custom made mold manufactured by Ron Hofmann of the Hofmann Engineering company who also made the propeller, motor, flex shaft and switch.  The reproduction wires and fork terminals were made by collector Joe Cain.  It also has an electric motor and the engine WORKS!  Once the parts were made it took Ron Wenzel to get it put together, painted and have the decals applied.  It looks great in person!  Notice in the last picture of the real Firestone 38 HP that this motor replicates. The Firestone brand was made by the Scott-Atwater company.  You can buy one for $550 with Free shipping. You'll love it!  Contact me at: jb6290@aol.com
2.  1955 Firestone 30 HP.  Firestone was made by Scott-Atwater. This is the same motor as the Scott-Atwater 30 HP from that year. Painted by Jack Browning from a 1956 K&O Scott 33 HP.
3.  1956 Evinrude Lark 30 HP. Made from a 1956 K&O big twin by Bob McDonald.  This was a difficult project for me but fun.  The decals are just color photo copies from the original catalog and then cut out and glued onto the motor.  Looks better than I thought it would.
